DRAINING WOUND DRESSING - A wound dressing is made of multiple layers and includes a collection chamber that is in fluid communication with a drainage channel. When applied over a wound, the wound dressing provides protection for the wound while allowing air and fluids to evacuate from the wound through the collection chamber and out through the drainage channel. The wound dressing can include a valve that restricts air and fluids from entering the wound, which is beneficial for treating pneumothorax.

VOID-FILLING WOUND DRESSING - A wound dressing includes a wound-filling member attached to a hemostasis inducer that can be impregnated with an active compound, such as coagulants. The wound dressing can be placed in wounds to provide pressure, as well as chemical action, to promote blood coagulation and thereby arrest bleeding. A wrap can be attached to the wound dressing to provide an easy and quick method of securing the wound dressing. The wound dressing can be compressed in a small package for easy transport.

INDICATIVE CHEST SEAL - A wound dressing can include an adhesive dressing with a diaphragm vent that allows the passage of gas out of a patient's body but restricts the flow of gas into the body. A sensor device is positioned so as to be able to sample gas passing through the vent and measure one or more gas characteristics, such as temperature, humidity, and/or pressure. If the data from the sensor device exceeds certain parameters suggestive of a pneumothorax, a processing device can activate an alert system, such as an indicator light, audible alarm, and/or wireless signal, to alert the care provider.
